| 20160063120 | FACETING SEARCH RESULTS - A business networking system receives a user a first search query that includes search criteria. The system executes the first search query to retrieve information relating to members of the business networking system based on the search criteria and to retrieve additional information relating to one or more facet values of the business networking system based on the search criteria and a scoring of a relevance of the facet values to the user. The system then executes a second search query using the one or more retrieved facet values to determine a count of documents that satisfy the search criteria and that include the one or more facet values. The system selects a portion of the facet values for transmission to the user, and displays on a user device the information relating to the members, the one or more facet values, and the counts for the one or more facet values. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063121 | ENHANCING RANKINGS OF SEARCH RESULTS FOR MEMBER PROFILE QUERIES - Techniques for improving rankings of search results generated by a search engine are described. A set of member profiles is identified. The identifying is based on keywords specified in a search query matching search index entries corresponding to the set of member profiles. A subset of the member profiles is selected. The selecting is based on a matching of the keywords to special index entries associated with the subset of the member profiles. The special index entries represent values of data fields specified in each of the subset of the set of member profiles. The special index entries also represent relationships between the values of the data fields. Ranking scores associated with each of the subset of the member profiles are boosted. A portion of each of the set of member profiles is communicated for presentation in user interface in order of the ranking scores. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063122 | EVENT SUMMARIZATION - Event summarization can include extracting Content from an unfiltered social media content associated with an event. Event summarization can also include constructing a summary of the event based on the extracted content. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063123 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR METADATA TRANSFER AMONG SEARCH ENTITIES - A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to ascribe or transfer metadata from one search-related entity to another, where each entity can be one of subject or source, citation, and object or target. First, one or more complete or incomplete attributes associated with one or more of entities across source, citation and target are identified with a high degree of probable accuracy, wherein such metadata or attributes include but are not limited to, time, language, and location of the entities. The identified attributes are then ascribed or transferred from one entity where the metadata is available to other search entities. Finally, the transferred attributes can be utilized to facilitate the selection and ranking of the cited targets for the search result. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063124 | CONTENT SEARCH METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE IMPLEMENTING SAME - A method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes displaying tags; detecting a selection of one of the displayed tags; displaying at least one tag related to the tag; and displaying information regarding at least one content related to the selected tag. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063125 | SORTING INFORMATION BY RELEVANCE TO INDIVIDUALS WITH PASSIVE DATA COLLECTION AND REAL-TIME INJECTION - In one aspect, data, such as information articles, is sorted and prioritized based on a plurality of factors, such as user interest and popularity of data with respect to other users. The data is sorted by initial personal (i.e., user) data, sorted by the most relevant to the user, while passive interaction data is used to continually reorder the articles in real-time, while new stories are being injected into the stream in real time, all while other articles are increasing/decreasing in stature based on popularity with regard to other users and time decay. As such, the system provides that the information is fed to users in an efficient manner, in a manner based on time relevance, assumed interest with regard to that given user based on past actions by that user or information otherwise known about that user, as well as interest in the articles demonstrated by other users. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063126 | WEB-BASED CUSTOMER SERVICE INTERFACE - A system and method for processing a web-based query is provided. The system comprises a web server for transmitting a web form having a text field box for entering a natural language query, and a language analysis server for extracting concepts from the natural language query and classifying the natural language query into predefined categories via computed match scores based upon the extracted concepts and information contained within an adaptable knowledge base. In various embodiments, the web server selectively transmits either a resource page or a confirmation page to the client, based upon the match scores. The resource page may comprise at least one suggested response corresponding to at least one predefined category. The language analysis server may adapt the knowledge base in accordance with a communicative action received from the client after the resource page is transmitted. | 2016-03-03 |
